2-Month Review of Under-Eye Fat Repositioning: I, Who Used to Have Panda Eyes, Got It Done

◆ Reason for surgery

My nickname has been Panda since I was little lol

The area under the eyes is sunken, and there is a slight protrusion of fat in the center, so the under-eye area is not smooth overall. , My dark circles were also very severe. .

 

In particular, there was a sunken area under the eyes that looked like a line, so the area below it looked darker. , It felt like only the center was slightly bright, and the dark circles on both sides looked like two lines. .

 

 

No matter how hard I applied concealer, it didn't make much of a difference. .

Even getting my makeup done at a makeup shop only helped a little. , Actually, when illuminated, the area under my eyes looked bumpy because of the raised part in the center. .

 

If I go without makeup “ You look tired ” I heard that a lot. .

 

So I spent a long time looking up reviews of under-eye fat repositioning. , At first, I thought it was a surgery that had nothing to do with me. . I thought it was a surgery usually done by people with a lot of protruding fat under their eyes. .

 

However, after receiving a consultation, I learned that even in cases like mine, where there are both sunken and slightly protruding areas under the eyes, there is a method to smooth out the under-eye contours by appropriately relocating fat. .

 

 

◆ The part I liked most during the consultation

While looking into various places, I realized that it was more important whether they properly explained my eye condition than whether the place was famous. .

 

The place where I received counseling examined my eyes and explained that I don't have a lot of fat, and that only the center part is slightly protruding. .

 

And you told me that while the issues I am concerned about can be improved to some extent, surgery cannot eliminate dark circles caused by the pigmentation itself. .

 

Because you didn't just tell me the good things but also explained the parts that didn't work, I actually trusted you more. .

 

so 1 After agonizing over it for over a year, I finally decided to have surgery. .

 

The cost includes anesthesia and medication. 250 It cost about 10,000 won. .

  

 

◆ Day of surgery

The surgery time 30 I was told it would be about minutes. , After washing my face thoroughly and changing into a surgical gown, I went into the operating room. . It was the first time in my life going into an operating room, so I was nervous for no reason lol

 

I had sleep anesthesia, but it didn't feel like I was falling into a completely deep sleep. . I think I was conscious enough to hear the teacher's voice from time to time and answer questions. .

 

It didn't hurt during the surgery, but I could feel the area around my eyes being touched, so it was a little uncomfortable. . Without realizing it “ iced coffee ” I remember a sound coming out lol

 

I don't remember the process of moving after the surgery very well. , After resting in the休息 area, I fully came to my senses and realized it had been a while since I entered the operating room. 2 About some time had passed. .

 

It was more fascinating than I expected on the day. .

 

Because the area around my eyes was taut and puffy, it actually made fine wrinkles invisible and gave the impression that the under-eye area looked bright and radiant. . The scar wasn't visible on the outside, so it was almost impossible to tell that I had surgery. .

 

However, my under-eyes were swollen and I felt like my lower eyelashes were poking my eyes, so it was a little uncomfortable to open and close them. .

 

 

◆ Surgery 2 First

 

2 The first round was the most embarrassing.

The swelling started to get serious the next day. .

 

Especially in the morning, it felt like my whole face, not just my eyes, was swollen, to the point where even my family was shocked when they saw it lol.

 

Yellow bruises also started to appear under the eyes. , When I touched my cheekbones, there were parts that felt like lumps, so at first I worried for no reason, thinking it was just a clump of fat. .

 

But as time went by, it gradually got smaller. .

 

2 At first, it hurt to the touch, like I had bumped into something. , The pain wasn't severe if I stayed still. .

 

However, I had a lot of eye boogers. . Green eye discharge accumulated like snot, to the point where it obscured my vision. , I also felt like my eyes were getting tired faster than usual. .

 

 

◆ Surgery 3 First

3~4 It definitely changed starting from the first round. .

 

The eye discharge has decreased and the pain has also decreased significantly. , It hurt a little bit around my cheekbones when I frowned. . I felt some discomfort from a slight pressure on my eyeball due to residual swelling around my eyes, but it wasn't severe enough to make daily life difficult. .

 

 

◆ Surgery 5 First

5 By the first session, the swelling had subsided a lot, and only yellow bruising remained. .

 

 

◆ Surgery 1 parking

 

1 The shape of my under-eyes started to change right from the time I started parking. .

As the swelling under my eyes definitely subsided, the bumpy feeling from before gradually disappeared, and I could see the area under my eyes becoming flatter. .

 

 

◆ Surgery 2 parking

 

2 After parking, most of the residual swelling has gone down and the bruising is gone. . From that point on, I started to like the results. .

 

Looking at old photos “ Did my under-eyes always look like this? ?” I realized I’ve already gotten used to my current face to the point where I actually want to lol

 

However, one thing that bothered me was the foreign body sensation. .

When I smile with my eyes, it feels like the area under my eyes gets slightly pulled up. , I had a pulling sensation, as if something were being pulled by a thread. . At first, I was secretly worried about what to do if this stayed there forever. .

 

 

◆ Surgery 4 parking

After about a month, my under-eye area became much softer and more natural. .

The foreign body sensation continued to decrease, and from that point on, I started exercising again. .

 

What was most fascinating was that the people I met after a long time

“ Your face looks better these days. ”

“ What did you do? ?”

I was saying this, but they didn't know I had under-eye fat repositioning. . I actually felt really good about that, haha. Rather than feeling like something drastically changed, I was actually going in the direction I wanted it to look like the overall impression had changed a little. .

 

 

◆ Surgery 8 parking

 

It has been a while since the surgery. 2 It's been about a month. .

Even to the naked eye, the under-eye area has settled naturally. , The feeling that it used to look like it was slightly convex in the middle and sunken on both sides has also decreased a lot. . Most importantly, the foreign body sensation that bothered me a little until the first month is now almost non-existent. .

 

Even when I smile with my eyes, I don't feel the pulling sensation under my eyes like before. , I barely even realize I had surgery in my daily life. .

 

My dark circles haven't completely disappeared. . I was told during the consultation that the pigmentation itself cannot be resolved with surgery, so I started with that in mind. .

 

However, for those like me whose under-eyes looked darker due to shadows caused by sunken and slightly protruding areas, there was a change where the contours were smoothed out, making the overall look much cleaner. .

 

I used to hear quite often that I looked tired wherever I went, but I am satisfied that I hardly hear that anymore these days. .

 

I took a half-day off work on Friday afternoon for surgery. Although I experienced some swelling and bruising initially, personally, returning to my daily life wasn't as difficult as I had expected. .

 

Of course, swelling and recovery speed will likely vary from person to person. .

 

 

Here is a summary of my lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery: ,

# expense : Includes anesthesia 250 10,000 won

# Surgery time : approximately 30 Received guidance

# Current progress : 8 parking

# bruise : approximately 10 About one day

# swelling : approximately 3 It drops a lot after about a week.

# foreign body sensation : 1 There was a little bit until the month, but 8 Almost gone from parking

 

My biggest concern was the foreign body sensation after the surgery, but it naturally subsided over time, so I don't really mind it now. . 1 I'd been agonizing over it for over a year, and finally did it. , Looking back now, I am so pleased with the current result that I wonder why I agonized over it for so long. .

 

However, under-eye fat repositioning is for under-eye fat volume or hollowness , skin condition , Since results can vary depending on individual eye conditions such as pigmentation, I think it is important to get a direct consultation to determine which method is right for your eyes, rather than deciding based solely on photos. .

 

Like me, if you have heard a lot of comments since childhood that you look tired because of the under-eyes, , If you have been concerned about the unevenness under your eyes even after applying concealer, please leave any questions in the comments. .

 

I will also try to answer as honestly as possible within the scope of my own experiences. :)
